Police Court.

The old woman arrested on Saturday
for being drunk and none too orderly,
especially with her tongue, faced her
judge yesterday, and vas called upon
to suffer the just penalty of the law in
such cases, a fine of S. being imposed.
TIE lady has no rich relations, hence
enjoys a not very inviting corner in
one of the city Lrison cells. She bears
the uncommon patronymic of Grace
Croll.
Tall swearing" among some sections
of the people of this district. would ap-
pear to be an accomplishment. Yester-
day, John Smith was arrested, on com
plant of one John n. Wilson, for dis
turbing the peace and uttering
indecent language, and for challenging
to fight. The case consumed the major
portion of the time of Judge Dee in the
afternoon. The testimony of Wilson
was that the defendant used some very
uncOmplimentary language towards
him and his nearest relative, and he
wished for legal redress. From the
evidence adduced there seemed to be
but little doubt that an altej cation of
some kind had taken place between the
said John Smith and John n. Wilson,
but most OF the witnesses called swOre
that the conversation never was raised
above b fiat, tone of voice assumed
by The judge, attorneys and witnesses.
The trial certainly xemplitied that
"the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, >" was an oath the nature
Of which some people do not seem to
have correct understanding Of. The
charge was ultimately dismissed.

Attempted Suicide.

The Police Court, yesterday, was the
scene of unusual activity, there being
one or two interesting cases demanding
the attention of his honor, Judge Dee.
The first was the hearing of charge Of
assault and battery Brought ~
Robert Fields against John Malan,
both, we understand, employed ct
the livery stable of MIR. Will
lam Carroll, on Main Street, Ogden. 1t
appears that the two young men had
been disputing in the stable. resulting iG
blows being struck and John Malan
being arrested. On certain facts being
adduced, Judge Dee excused the defend
ant to allow him to go to breakfast. a
short time afterwards, the younger
brother of Malan gave the information
to Marshal B8lautyne that his brother
had attempted suicide, by taking poison,
supposed to have been aConite, medi-
ciDe used at the stable for the horses.
Medical aid was at once sought, and
DR.. H. J. Powers visited the poisoned
man, and Immediately administered an
emetic, which prevented The results
from being fatal. At last accounts be
was better, and Il is expected he viii
recover. We understand the young
man, fer he is only about 2S years of
age, has suffered considerable trouble
OF late, his wife having died a short time
ago, since which he appears to have
taken to drinking, and at the lime OF his
making the attempt on his life, he was
under, Une influence of liquor. It is
understood that Mai8n intended TO
bring counter charge against Fields
for disturbing the peace. Further devel-
epments are expected to-day.
